The Philippines’ National Privacy Commission updated the penalties for violations of the Data Privacy Act of 2021, GMA News reports. There will be a new cap on penalties to not exceed 5 million pesos whether there was a single violation or multiple violations by a personal information controller or a personal information processor. Previously, administrative fines for PICs or PIPs were 0.25% to 3% of gross income for “grave” violations and 0.25% to 2% of gross income for “major” violations.
